Come Together

Chapter 12 " The Truth Comes Out"

It was about an hour later and everyone was having fun at the club. Sakura was dancing on the dance floor with hinata and Ino when she felt like she needed a drink. She excused herself from her friends and walked over to the bar. When Sakura got to the bar and watched her female friends dancing on the dance floor without her but she didn't mind, she was thirsty after all. When she got her drink, she turned around and noticed Ashley was walking straight to her.

" Hey Sakura, do you think we can talk privately?" Asked Ashley.

" Sure. Why not?" Sakura said since she was feeling really good because she had been drinking all night and did a little coke in the bathroom before hitting the dance floor so she figured nothing that bitch could say to her could make her change her attitude as the two females walked to the girls bathroom.

" So what did you want to talk to me about?" Asked Sakura.

" It's about Sasuke."

" What are you going out with him now? Oh wait how about having his kid?" Sakura said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes at the girl.

" No Sakura, it's about what happened at the club that night. You see me and Karin overheard you two talking about going to the new club at school so we followed you guys and my brother is the bartender there. So whenever Sasuke went to go get you guys some drinks, my brother would put this hallucinate drug into his beer so he would be with us rather than you."

" So what your saying is he wasn't realizing that he was kissing Karin that night." Sakura said and Ashley nodded her head.

" Correct... also by the time I went up to him, he was far from gone and the whole time I was with him he thought I was you."

" Yeah right, and why are you telling me this now?" Asked Sakura.

" Because unlike Karin I have a conscience and I like Sasuke a lot but I like him so much I rather see him be happy with out me than be miserable because of me. And all I am saying is the truth, the whole time we were having sex he was yelling out your name. When I approached him at the club, he thought I was you and apologized for his behavior and I pretended to be you so I could break you two up." Ashley explained.

" Well I'm glad you confess. Does... Sasuke know this?"

" No... I don't have the courage to tell him but I figured if I told you, you might give him another chance. Karin doesn't even know that I'm telling you this. That girl still doesn't get that Sasuke will never be with her."

" Well thanks for telling me Ashley. Well I better get back to the party."

" Yeah not a problem." Ashley said as the two girls walked out of the bathroom together and parted ways when they got outside. Sakura walked back to where Sai's table was at still thinking about what Ashley told her then something flashed in her head.

Flashback

" Sakura, what's wrong?"

" Your idiot brother! I think he had this conversation last night."

" Yes we did have this conversation but I thought you two made up last night." Itachi stated which made Sakura curious of that he meant.

" What do you mean you thought we made up last night? I hadn't even seen him since we had left the club!" Sakura yelled out.

" Well I had woken up in the middle of the night and decided to check up on you and when I went upstairs I heard noises from Sasuke's other room and I thought you were in there with him because..." Itachi was about to continued but then was interupted.

" God Itachi do I sound like a slut? Your brother was fucking some whore in there that's what you heard."

" But no Sakura, when I was at the door I heard Sasuke..."

Sakura had completely forgotten that the day after, Itachi was trying to tell her something about Sasuke.

' I wonder if Itachi is going to show up here tonight, if he is then I can asked him what he meant by thinking me and Sasuke made up.'

Sakura thought as she went up to Sai's table and saw Sasuke, Naruto, Gaara and Sai sitting there with two girls with Sai. She took a seat next to Gaara while she looked around to see Sasuke sitting there with a emotionless face while Naruto talking to him.

" Did I miss anything?" Asked Sakura.

" Hey Sakura, what's up? where have you been tonight?" Asked Gaara as he took another drink out of his jack and coke.

" I know I've been with the girls then I got caught up with something but I'm here now... hey is Itachi here yet?"

" No not yet but I'm sure he will be here any minute."

Naruto said as he entered their conversation. Sasuke suddenly stood up and walked away from the table, everyone else wondering where he was going.

" Okay... I wonder where he's going." Naruto said but Sakura ignored him, she didn't want to deal with Sasuke until she talked to Itachi. Then a minute later, she saw who she wanted to speak with approach their table.

" Itachi!" Sakura yelled out as she got out of her seat and walked towards the two males.

" Hey Sakura, how's it going? I'm really sorry for what had happened with Sasori." Itachi said.

" Hey Itachi beat the living shit out of him after you and his brother left." Kisame said.

" Yeah he actually came by my apartment today before he left to apologize but anyways can we talk outside?"

Sakura asked as the male nodded and her and Itachi left the club while Kisame went to the dance floor to find some chick to talk to. Naruto watched as Sakura and Itachi leaving the club and his plan was about to start in motion. Then he looked over and noticed Sasuke coming back to the table with another beer in his hand.

" Hey Teme, where did you go?" Naruto asked but Sasuke once again ignored him and sat down to continue to drink his beer.

" Whatever... anyways your brother came back over here. Him and Sakura just left before you came back." Naruto said.

" Hn." Sasuke said while trying not to care what he was talking about.

" Yeah, I heard Sakura saying she needed to talk to him so they are outside the club. I hope Itachi doesn't take advantage of her or anything."

Gaara said then everyone around the table watch Sasuke get up from his seat and walked away again.

" Good job Gaara. Phase two complete." Naruto grinned while watching his friend leave the club.

Meanwhile, Sakura and Itachi had just walked outside and walked until they were a few yards away from the entrance and began to talk.

" So Sakura, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?" Itachi asked as he stood in front of the girl.

" Well do you remember the night that me and Sasuke went on that date and you told me the next mourning that you thought me and Sasuke made up, what did you mean by that?"

Sakura asked while shocking Itachi a little bit. He wasn't expecting that was the reason why she wanted to talk to him. Itachi ran his hand through his hair and sighed.

" Do you really want to know?"

" Yes please tell me the truth no matter how much it hurts me."

" Well the reason why I thought you guys had made up was because during the middle of the night I went to go check up on you and while I was going up the stairs I heard Sasuke and someone else in his playroom. As I got near the door, all I could hear from the girl was moaning while Sasuke kept yelling out your name so I thought that you guys had made up and was having make up sex or something so I left and went back downstairs." Itachi explained while looking down at Sakura.

" Oh... hey Itachi... do you think I should give Sasuke another chance?"

" Another chance?"

" Yeah like be friends with him again."

" Well honestly my brother had been doing a lot better ever since you were in his life and I think the same goes for you too."

" What do you mean?"

" You know what I mean, ever since you guys stopped talking to each other, you are back to getting fucked up with coke, having sex with random guys and Sai even told me you missed your doctors appointment and you quit taking your pills. What the hell is wrong with you Sakura? You know you can die if you don't take your pills." Itachi said as he raised his voice which stunned Sakura, causing tears to roll down her eyes because she knew what he was saying was true.

" Your right Itachi! I'm just a fucked a whore that no one will ever love me and it's all my fault if I die!" Sakura yelled out as she put her hands to her face.

" No Sakura, see you are so fucked up right now but you know a lot of people care for you and love you. I know you have been hurting lately especially seeing Sasori again and it being your mom's anniversary but all the things you have been doing is just hurting yourself and everyone is worried about you." Itachi said then suddenly he heard the club door open and turned his head to see his younger brother walking out and he noticed the two standing there.

" Itachi!" Sasuke yelled out and ran towards the two.

" What do you want brother?" Itachi asked while Sakura was still crying.

" Sakura, what's wrong?" Sasuke asked as he put his hands on her shoulders, watching her move her head up so she could look into his onxy colored eyes.

" Sasuke?"

" I think my part here is done. Sasuke, take good care of her." Itachi said as he walked back into the club.

' Phase three complete. Sorry I had to make you cry Sakura but it will be worth it in the end.' Itachi thought to himself as he walked inside.

" Are you okay Sakura?" Sasuke asked while raising his hand and wipeing her tears from her face with his thumb.

" Sasuke... I have to tell you something very important." Sakura said as she walked over to the wall of the club and took a seat while Sasuke followed her lead. For some reason, after she saw Sasuke comforting her, she stopped crying and slightly became sober.

" What is it?" Sasuke asked in concern.

" You know our date that we had?"

" Yeah the one where I fucked up big time."

" Yeah that one... do you really remember what happened with Karin and Ashley that night?" Sakura asked.

" No... I heard from other people what had happened but I don't remember any of it." Sasuke said with a disappointing tone of voice.

" The reason why you don't remember what happened that night is because every time you got a beer from the bartender, he would slip some drug into your drink. You see the bartender was Ashley's brother and her and Karin plotted a way to separate us." Sakura explained to him and watched his eyes suddenly get big.

" What? How do you know this?" Sasuke said harshly.

" Ashley is in the club right now and she told me what had happened."

" Well I guess that explains it. Even Neji said I wasn't acting myself and for the life of me I can't remember that night. But how can you be so sure to trust her?"

" Because she told me while you guys were... having sex you were thinking it was me the whole time and Itachi had walked by your door during that time too and heard you yelling out my name." Sakura said.

" Damn... thoses fucking bitches." Sasuke stood up and punched the wall with his fist while Sakura stood up and watched him.

" Are you okay?" Sakura asked.

" Yeah I'm fine just really pissed off. Is that the reason why you were crying just now?"

" No... I guess you can say I had a breakdown and Itachi made me realized the way I have been acting was selfish."

" Hn well I'll say it again Sakura, I'm really sorry for what happened and for hurting you. Is there anyway you could forgive me?" Sasuke asked while looking into her eyes.

" Yeah I do, we can be friends again but other than that... I will have to think about it. I just don't want to get hurt again because I really like you Sasuke."

" I really like you too and believe me, you won't but I'll be happy just being your friend for now."

Sasuke said as he put his arms around her waist and moved her closer to him so he could hug her. Sakura breathed out and embraced him back. They stayed like this for a few moments, just being relaxed into eachother's arms when they heard the club door open and they backed away from each other immediately so they wouldn't be embarrassed. The two people that were walking out was no one else but Naruto with his arm around Hinata's neck. Naruto looked over and saw his two friends standing there and waved at them.

" Teme!! Sakura!!! What are you guys doing? Making love?"

Naruto slurred and they both realized he had been drinking way too much inside. The two of them walked over and met with Naruto and Hinata.

" Hinata, I don't see how you can put up with him." Sakura said while giggling a little bit, she was still a little bit tipsy but she was aware of what was going on.

" Yeah he should be lucky I love him so much. Anyways we are going over to the apartment now. Sakura do you need a ride?" Hinata asked while balancing Naruto.

" You guys should come over! Teme you are sleeping over tonight!!" Naruto yelled out.

" Fine I'll sleep over just shut up. Me and Sakura will meet you there since I did take my car here."

Sasuke stated and everyone agreed so they all walked to their cars and met up at the apartment.

When they got there, Hinata said goodnight to them and took Naruto to his room, leaving Sakura and Sasuke alone in the living room.

" Hey Sasuke, I think I'm going to bed now. That party wore me out." Sakura said.

" Yeah me too."

" Well, where are you going to sleep?" Sakura asked as she watched Sasuke walked over to the couch and sat down.

" The couch will be just fine. You should sleep now. I'll see you in the mourning." Sasuke said as he laid down on the couch and closed his eyes.

" Hey Sasuke?"

" Hn."

" Well you can sleep in my bed if you want, there is enough room for the two of us." Sakura said quietly but Sasuke heard her anway and opened up his eyes and sat up to look at her.

" Sakura... don't get me wrong I would love to sleep next to you tonight but after all we went through tonight, it's better this way. I don't want you to think we are moving too fast." Sasuke explained as he got up from his seat and walked up to her.

" But I don't think we are. We were only friends before our date and we slept together in the same bed before." Sakura pointed out starting to get angry.

" Sakura, I will be right here in the mourning. I'm not going anywhere."

" You promise?" Sakura asked and Sasuke nodded his head then bent down and gave her a kiss on the head, causing her to blush.

" If you still feel the same way tomorrow as you do tonight, then we will go from there, until then good night Sakura."

Sasuke moved away from her and went back to laying on the couch. Sasuke was really glad at the fact Sakura wanted to be friends with him again and she even wanted him by her side tonight but he knew she was still a little high on coke and tipsy from earlier and he didn't want her to wake up the next mourning not remembering what happened and only to see him on the bed. He knew this was better this way incase she didn't mean what she said tonight. He was going to make sure he didn't fuck things up with her again.

" Good night Sasuke."

Sakura said with a smile on her face and walked into her room. She got dressed in her night clothes and crawled into bed and closed her eyes while the alcohol in her system slowly washed away as she went into a deep sleep thinking about Sasuke.

Yay Sasuke and Sakura are finally talking again and are on good terms. So I posted up 2 chapters back to back so I hope you guys realized that and enjoy! Thanks again for the reviews
